The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is the local seat of government in Grenoble, France.
[2][3][4] Following the liberation of the town by the French Forces of the Interior and the 1st Shock Battalion on 22 August 1944, during the Second World War, a plaque was unveiled in the forecourt of the old building to commemorate the event.
The French Government gave approval to proceed in 1962 and construction of the new building commenced, using steel, glass, aluminium and concrete, in 1965.
[7] In March 2003, the building was one of several in Grenoble to be given the "Patrimoine du XXe siècle" (20th Century Heritage) status by the French state.
[12] In the early hours of September 2019, there was a fire in the council chamber, which authorities believed to be an act of arson.
